F&G

F&G is a leading provider of annuities and life insurance. Following the acquisition, the company completed its mark-to-market valuation of the investment portfolio, a non-cash adjustment, recognizing a net unrealized loss of approximately $0.5 billion. This discount will accrete over time, net of offsets for value of business acquired (VOBA) amortization and taxes. As a result of acquisition accounting (purchase accounting or PGAAP), financial results for periods after the closing of the transaction are generally not comparable to the results of prior periods. Certain metrics, such as sales and policyholder account values, are not affected by PGAAP and are comparable to prior period data.

Fixed Indexed Annuities (FIA) sales of $866 million in the second quarter, an increase of 13% to the prior year, and a 4% increase over the sequential quarter
Average Assets Under Management (AAUM) of $26.6 billion for the 1 month ended June 30, 2020 down from $27.4 billion from the prior year second quarter as $2.1 billion net new business asset flows were offset by acquisition and purchase accounting effects, including the recognition of a $0.5 billion net unrealized loss and $2.4 billion reduction for discontinued operations
Net Investment Spread: FIA spread for the 1 month ended June 30, 2020 of 347 basis points, compared to 305 basis points in the historical sequential quarter; Spread across all product lines for the 1 month ended June 30, 2020 of 350 basis points, compared to an historical sequential quarter spread of 224 basis points. The increase in spread was primarily due to acquisition and purchase accounting effects (noted above) which increased the earned yield, as well as lower interest credited
Net Loss Attributable to Common Shareholders of $39 million for the 1 month ended June 30, 2020 primarily driven by unfavorable mark-to-market and other items which are not included in adjusted net earnings
Adjusted Net Earnings From Continuing Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders of $37 million for the 1 month ended June 30, 2020 including $8 million of favorable notable items
Adjusted Return on Equity (ROE) of 16% for the 1 month ended June 30, 2020
Risk-Based Capital (RBC) ratio for our primary operating subsidiary is estimated at approximately 400% at June 30, 2020

“Our second quarter benefited from strong refinance volumes compared with the 2019 comparable period, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic,” commented Chairman William P. Foley, II. “Our adjusted pre-tax title earnings of $378 million and an adjusted pre-tax title margin of 18.4% was our best quarter since the third quarter of 2003. Refinance opened and closed orders on a daily basis increased 111% and 158%, respectively. Our operational capabilities have ensured that our security and productivity have not been impacted even as approximately 70% of our employees continue to work remotely. As the pandemic intensified in March, we aggressively managed our expenses through the second quarter and will remain focused on order volumes looking forward as we maintain our culture of expense discipline.”

“After three years as a minority owner in F&G, we previously announced our intent to acquire the remaining interest in F&G as a way to diversify our earnings and reduce the risk and volatility inherent in our stand-alone title operations. We closed the acquisition on June 1, 2020 and are pleased to officially welcome F&G’s employees and policy holders to the FNF family. F&G had strong sales in the period, gaining market share while also maintaining pricing discipline. In addition, F&G launched into the independent broker dealer channel in June, through a partnership with one of the largest independent broker dealers in the country. We remain committed to maximizing value for our shareholders through our capital allocation strategy focused on our quarterly dividend, currently $0.33 per share, growing our businesses, and opportunistic share buybacks.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) is the term used to refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting. GAAP includes the standards, conventions, and rules accountants follow in recording and summarizing transactions and in the preparation of financial statements. In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, FNF has provided non-GAAP financial measures, which it believes are useful to help investors better understand its financial performance, competitive position and prospects for the future. These non-GAAP measures include adjusted net earnings, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted pre-tax title earnings, adjusted pre-tax title earnings as a percentage of adjusted title revenue (adjusted pre-tax title margin), F&G adjusted earnings, F&G adjusted earnings attributable to common shareholders, F&G adjusted operating return on common shareholders’ equity excluding AOCI, F&G net investment spread, F&G average assets under management and F&G sales.

Any non-GAAP measures should be considered in context with the GAAP financial presentation and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP net earnings. Further, FNF's non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently from similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to related GAAP measures are provided below.

Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management's beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. Because such statements are based on expectations as to future financial and operating results and are not statements of fact, actual results may differ materially from those projected. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The risks and uncertainties which forward-looking statements are subject to include, but are not limited to: the ability of FNF to successfully integrate F&G's operations and employees; the potential impact of the announcement or consummation of the proposed F&G transaction on relationships, including with employees, suppliers, customers and competitors; changes in general economic, business, political and COVID-19 conditions, including changes in the financial markets; weakness or adverse changes in the level of real estate activity, which may be caused by, among other things, high or increasing interest rates, a limited supply of mortgage funding or a weak U. S. economy; our potential inability to find suitable acquisition candidates; our dependence on distributions from our title insurance underwriters as a main source of cash flow; significant competition that F&G and our operating subsidiaries face; compliance with extensive government regulation of our operating subsidiaries; and other risks detailed in the “Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information,” “Risk Factors” and other sections of FNF's Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

DEFINITIONS
The following represents the definitions of non-GAAP measures used by F&G.

Adjusted Earnings

Adjusted Earnings is a non-GAAP economic measure we use to evaluate financial performance each period. Adjusted earnings is calculated by adjusting net earnings (loss) from continuing operations to eliminate:
(i) Realized (gains) and losses, net: the impact of net investment gains/losses, including changes in allowance for expected credit losses and other than temporary impairment ("OTTI") losses, recognized in operations; the impact of market volatility on the alternative asset portfolio; and the effect of changes in fair value of the reinsurance related embedded derivative;

(ii) Indexed product related derivatives: the impacts related to changes in the fair value, including both realized and unrealized gains and losses, of index product related derivatives and embedded derivatives, net of hedging cost, and the fair value accounting impact of assumed reinsurance,

(iii) Purchase price amortization: the impacts related to the amortization of certain intangibles (internally developed software, trademarks and value of distribution asset (VODA)) recognized as a result of acquisition activities, and

(iv) Transaction costs: the impacts related to acquisition, integration and merger related items.

Adjustments to Adjusted Earnings are net of the corresponding impact on amortization of intangibles, as appropriate. The income tax impact related to these adjustments is measured using an effective tax rate, as appropriate by tax jurisdiction. While these adjustments are an integral part of the overall performance of F&G, market conditions and/or the non-operating nature of these items can overshadow the underlying performance of the core business. Accordingly, management considers this to be a useful measure internally and to investors and analysts in analyzing the trends of our operations.

Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders

Adjusted Earnings attributable to common shareholders is a non-GAAP economic measure we use to evaluate financial performance attributable to our common shareholders each period. Adjusted Earnings attributable to common shareholders is calculated by adjusting net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders to eliminate the same items as described in the Adjusted Earnings paragraph above. While these adjustments are an integral part of the overall performance of the Company, market conditions and/or the non-operating nature of these items can overshadow the underlying performance of the core business. Accordingly, Management considers this to be a useful measure internally and to investors and analysts in analyzing the trends of our operations.

Adjusted Return on Average Common Shareholders’ Equity Excluding AOCI

Adjusted Return on Common Shareholders’ Equity Excluding AOCI is calculated by dividing Adjusted Earnings Attributable to Common Shareholders’ by total average Common Shareholders’ Equity Excluding AOCI. Average Common Shareholders’ Equity Excluding AOCI for the twelve months rolling, is the average of 5 points throughout the period and for the quarterly average Common Shareholders Equity is calculated using the beginning and ending Common Shareholders Equity, Excluding AOCI, for the period. For periods less than a full fiscal year, amounts disclosed in the table are annualized. As a result of the acquisition, the starting point for calculation of average Common Shareholders’ Equity was reset to June 1, 2020. The rolling average will be updated from the acquisition date forward to use available historical data points until 5 historical data points are available. Since AOCI fluctuates from quarter to quarter due to unrealized changes in the fair value of available for sale investments, Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to provide useful supplemental information internally and to investors and analysts assessing the level of adjusted earned return on common equity.

Net Investment Spread

Net investment spread is the excess of net investment income, adjusted for market volatility on the alternative asset investment portfolio, earned over the sum of interest credited to policyholders and the cost of hedging our risk on indexed product policies. Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the performance of the Company’s invested assets against the level of investment return provided to policyholders, inclusive of hedging costs.
14



Average Assets Under Management (AAUM)

AAUM is calculated as the sum of:
(i) total invested assets at amortized cost, excluding derivatives;

(ii) related party loans and investments;

(iii) accrued investment income;

(iv) funds withheld at fair value;

(v) the net payable/receivable for the purchase/sale of investments, and

(iv) cash and cash equivalents, excluding derivative collateral, at the beginning of the period and the end of each month in the period, divided by the total number of months in the period plus one.

Management considers this non-GAAP financial measure to be useful internally and to investors and analysts when assessing the rate of return on assets available for reinvestment.

Sales (FIA Sales and Total Retail Annuity Sales)

Sales are not derived from any specific GAAP income statement accounts or line items and should not be viewed as a substitute for any financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. Annuity and IUL sales are recorded as deposit liabilities (i.e. contractholder funds) within the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that presentation of sales, as measured for management purposes, enhances the understanding of our business and helps depict longer term trends that may not be apparent in the results of operations due to the timing of sales and revenue recognition.
